The Catholic Archdiocese of Boston is expanding its investigation of sexual abuse from one to all three of its seminaries.

The archdiocese announced today that along with the investigation into St. John’s Seminary, where two former seminarians in August claimed abuse, the probe will also cover Pope St. John XXIII National Seminary in Weston and Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Chestnut Hill.

Cardinal Seán O'Malley is bringing in an outside investigation team with no ties to the Archdiocese.

Former US Attorney Donald K. Stern will lead a group of investigators from the firm of Yurko, Salvesen & Remz in a review of the allegations that surfaced over the summer regarding St. John’s Seminary, as well as a probe of Pope St. John XXIII National Seminary in Weston and Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Chestnut Hill.
